Lu Meir closed her beautiful eyes. As she was dying, her mind was filled with Chu Tianxiao's figure. Those beautiful memories, like a passing visit, made her relive them again...
Where is he now? Who is he thinking about? At this moment, is he thinking about me? Will he worry about my safety like Sister Dai Mu? If he were here, would he rush to protect me regardless of everything? Would he...
As she thought about it, Lu Meir slowly closed her eyes, and a crystal teardrop flowed from the corner of her eye, falling silently on the cold ground...
"Actually, this is fine..."
"At least, I won't have to see another woman reflected in Brother Tianxiao's eyes anymore..."
Thinking of this, the black ball of light was not far away. Lu Meir simply stopped running, stopped, turned around, raised her head slightly, and silently waited for the arrival of the final moment...
At the moment of life and death, Lu Meir looked up at the lonely moon in the sky.
Lonely moon, lonely moon...
How similar it is to me, both are expelled, rejected, and wandering...
Lu Meir's mind was in a state of confusion, but the black ball was getting closer, blocking the sky and even the moonlight. It was pitch black everywhere, and she couldn't see anything around her, but she knew... there was nothing here.
Chu Tianxiao will never appear here.
At this moment, he might be hugging another girl tightly, comforting her, protecting her, and there will be no one else in his heart...
Even if there is, it won’t be me.
I am just the one who was rejected...poor guy.
Thinking of this, Lu Meir's subconscious resistance also disappeared... She lost, she lost, but she didn't lose to others, lost to an irresistible force, but lost to the word "love"... Even if she could break this trick, what would it matter? Even if she got out alive, what would it matter? She was always just a lonely person who didn't deserve to have mutual love...
It was, it is, and it will be...
Right at this moment!
"Your servant, Chu Tianxiao... heard that Princess Tianmei's birthday is coming, so I renamed the conquered 'Zhaodu' to 'Tianmei' as a gift to wish the princess a happy birthday..."
The sound that slowly came out from the sound transmission treasure was like a bolt from the blue, waking Lu Meir up!
This, this voice... is it him
Lu Meir didn't know that Emperor Zhou had specially used his magical powers to restore Chu Tianxiao's voice based on the spiritual imprint on the jade slip in order to cheer her up... But she knew very well that the voice she heard really came from her brother Tianxiao!
Lu Meir's eyes, which had been dull, suddenly lit up!
So scary bright, and yet so... cute.
"Brother Tianxiao... remember my birthday..."
"He... he has me in his heart... he actually has me in his heart, he really has me in his heart..."
"It turns out... I... am not an insignificant person... I am not... I really am not!"
Lu Meir's eyes became moist again, but this time the tears were not bitter and cold, but sweet and hot.
"I can't die! For him, I can't die!"
At this moment, the fire of survival burned fiercely in Yu Lu Meir's heart!
She raised her head, looked at the darkness in front of her, and snorted with disdain.
Yes, disdain.
"You're nothing special!"
At this point, Lu Meir, who had completely gotten rid of the mood of "despair", finally saw the arrogance!
"You've been chasing me from behind, oppressing me, but you refuse to give up, and you keep affecting my mood, trying to make me despair... From this, it seems that you are nothing special! At least, this is not a blow that can reflect the full strength of the master behind you!"
Lu Meir held the sword in her hand.
She only felt that this time, a completely different power from the past was emerging from deep within her...
An ancient, obscure, yet mysterious and strange pattern... slowly lit up between her eyebrows!
Sometimes it is like a bright cinnabar, and sometimes it is dim like the twinkling of dark stars...
An extremely terrifying aura suddenly burst out from her!
The "Ming Yue" in the Gate of Life and Death seemed to sense something, and suddenly a blue aurora shot out from the sky, piercing a big hole in the huge black ball!
Then, the moonlight in the sky condensed into a beam and shot straight into the hole, piercing it. At the same time, a dazzling blue light bloomed from under the black ball, freezing the entire black ball in mid-air!
The sky is full of brilliance!
Overlapping moon shadows!
Lu Meir couldn't fully understand what this sudden... familiar, yet unfamiliar power in her body was, but she knew that the opportunity for battle had arrived!
Her heart moved as she wished, Lu Meir channeled all her true energy into the sword, and then... the sword came out!
A bright light suddenly burst out, and a pillar of light rose from Lu Meir's hand and slashed down towards the dark night sky. It slashed towards the black ball as if to split the sky and the earth, and it actually split the huge black ball into two right in the middle!
The field was filled with spiritual energy, and violent forces collided with each other. After a loud bang, a huge black ball exploded on the spot!
The powerful impact swept the entire place. Lu Meir retreated repeatedly to lose momentum before she was able to stabilize her body.
She held the sword tightly, not loosening it even though her wrist was dripping with blood.
His gaze was fixed on the pair of "eyes" in front of him.
She knew very well that even if she wanted to escape, these "eyes" were an obstacle she had to face.
Then those scarlet eyes revealed a look of doubt, resentment, and anger... But in the end, it turned into confusion...
After a moment, it seemed to have "seen" something and stopped attacking Lu Meir. Instead, it slowly closed its eyes and disappeared...
The pressure disappeared completely.
Lu Meir suddenly felt her body lighten, and then the fatigue caused by overdraft and other things surged up like a tide... The power that she had gradually become familiar with also disappeared without a trace like the receding tide, as if... it had never appeared.
She felt dizzy and had difficulty standing.
But even so, Lu Meir gritted her teeth and held on. She did not faint. Instead, she quickly moved and ran to a safe area she had found before. She set up the barrier before she breathed a sigh of relief. Then... she collapsed to the ground.
"Brother Tianxiao... Thank you... Your gift, Mei'er, I like it very much."
This was her last thought before she passed out.
…
…
Somewhere in a snowy field tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A man in a black robe and a white leather mask was warming a pot of wine in the snow.
The wine has a rich aroma and is filled with mist.
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps in the distance, and a young lady wearing a butterfly mask and with a graceful figure walked slowly towards them. As she walked, ice lotuses kept emerging from the snow and bloomed instantly, as if welcoming them...
Countless ice butterflies followed and danced around the woman.
She came to the opposite side of the black-robed man, knelt down, and said respectfully: "Teacher."
"Um."
The black-robed man's eyes did not change. He just looked at the pot of wine, as if thinking about something.
"The snow is so cold, your body..."
"No problem."
Even though her words were rejected halfway through, the woman did not get angry. She looked calm and said nothing more. She just waited quietly.
The two of them just stared at each other in silence. Only the cold wind blew through the field, making a shrill sound.
I don't know how long I waited...
Perhaps at the same time that Lu Meir made her move...
The man in black robe grabbed the wine jug and lifted it up.
“The time has come.”
